2. a)

If you multiply the numerator of a fraction and do not change the denominator, what will happen to the size of the fraction?

It will become larger.

b)

If you multiply the denominator and do not change the numerator, what will happen to the size of the fraction?

It will become smaller.

c)

If you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, what will happen to the size of the fraction?

It will not change. It will have the same value. The change in the denominator (taking more equal parts of 1) will balance the change in the numerator (taking a greater number of those parts). The two fractions will be equivalent.
